"Oh."
Seeing the serious look on Naruto's face, Iruka smiled. "Looks like Naruto takes making friends very seriously. You even have a process for it."
"Go on, what process? Iruka-sensei wants to see how Naruto makes friends."
Naruto looked at Iruka and said, "Iruka-sensei, to be friends with me, we have to spar first. Only then are the friends we make truly sincere."
"Haha..."
Hearing that, Iruka could neither laugh nor cry. "Naruto, you really are interesting. All right, Iruka-sensei agrees to spar with you."
"Thank you, Iruka-sensei. I can already feel your sincerity," Naruto said.
"Then shall we begin our spar, Naruto?" Iruka looked around. At this time, the school was empty; both students and teachers had left.
"Yes. Please go all out, Iruka-sensei." Naruto bowed to Iruka.
"Mm, your teacher will go all out."
Iruka said that aloud, but inwardly, he thought, Naruto has only been studying at the Ninja Academy for half a year. He hasn't even mastered those basic Ninjutsu. I'd better be careful not to hurt him.
"Then I'm starting, Iruka-sensei."
The moment he finished speaking, Naruto vanished from where he stood. With a Startled Swan, he instantly appeared before Iruka and threw a punch. With a loud bang, it was a log that Naruto shattered.
Wood chips flew everywhere!
Seeing Naruto's speed, Iruka could not help becoming serious. It seemed this student of his was not bad at all—his speed and strength were both impressive. Fortunately, Iruka had reacted quickly enough to use the Substitution Technique in his place.
As a Konoha chūnin who had spent years teaching beginners, Iruka did not actually know many Ninjutsu. He only knew basic techniques like the Substitution Technique, Transformation Jutsu, and Clone Technique.
Of course, he also knew Genjutsu, as well as ninja arts and barrier Ninjutsu,
